巴拿馬共和國

位於中美洲最南端,擁有連接大西洋和太平洋的巴拿馬運河。受惠於2022年後疫情時代的經濟復甦,大量貨輪等著通過巴拿馬運河,巴拿馬經濟因此受惠,估計達到7.5%的經濟增長率,優於鄰近所有國家,也吸引許多風險投資人持續投入資金。2017年,巴拿馬宣布結束與台灣超過一世紀的外交關係,改跟中國建交。和台灣斷交後5個月隨即成為中美洲地區第一個加入一帶一路的國家。此後中國在巴拿馬境內投資了20多個基礎設施項目,總金額超過數十億美元,但許多開發案已停滯。預計中國和美國將在巴拿馬展開一場好感度大戰。

Panama is located at the southernmost part of Central America and controls the Panama Canal, which connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, dominating a key strategic and economic position. Panama's economy is based on a well-developed service sector, especially commerce, finance, and trading. It's the most important financial hub in Latin America. But due to the release of the 2016 Panama Papers scandal, the country's money laundering issues were exposed. Panama switched diplomatic recognition from Taiwan to China in 2017. It was the first country to use the US dollar as its official currency besides the United States, but in recent years, American influence in Panama has decreased.
